Just yanked the head off my 95 to replace the head gasket. Yea I know I got the gasket in Sept....<br>Got the head off no problem (engine in the frame) and this is pretty easy, untill I have to torque the two cap nuts on the intake side at the outside of the motor....<br>Who's done this in the frame? is this just a flip flop with a socket thing or do I have to roll the engine down out of the frame??????<br>Thanks in advance, as always<br>Jim<br><br><br><br>We goin to the Gee Pee<br>We goin to the Gee Pee.... <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :banana --><img src=http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v209/ ... ananna.gif ALT=":banana"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :banana --><img src=http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v209/ ... ananna.gif ALT=":banana"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :banana --><img src=http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v209/ ... ananna.gif ALT=":banana"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :banana --><img src=http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v209/ ... ananna.gif ALT=":banana"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> <p></p><i>Edited by: <A HREF=http://p072.ezboard.com/bexupbrotherhoo ... cer1951</A> at: 1/26/05 8:49 pm<br></i>

You need a set of Snap-On 1/4" universal drive metric sockets and a Snap-On 1/4" extention or two.<br><br>Bring your money with you in the $250-350 range when you go to the Snap-On Tool Truck.<br><br>Matt at PSB <p></p><i>Edited by: <A HREF=http://p072.ezboard.com/bexupbrotherhoo ... atpsb>Matt at PSB</A> at: 1/27/05 12:52 am<br></i>

I droped the front of my engine leaving just the lower rear bolt in and lowered it down on a trolly jack. Remember to unhook the drive chain though <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :o --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/embarassed.gif ALT=":o"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> With the front of the engine tilted forwards you can get to the head bolts.<br><br>Mark <p></p><i></i>
